FEKKET 'EM OUT:
The scandal, growing out of the
amazing discovery that the nearly
$4,000,000 expended in the construction
and equipment of the great battleship
Texas have been worse than wasted,
that the many structural weaknesses of
the mighty mass of steel and iron ren
der the ship unseaworthy aod a menace
to the lives of the sailors who venture
out of port in her, involves ex
Secretaries Whitney and Tracy and
Secretary Herbert, of tbe navy depart
ment, each of whom exercised import
ant functions iu connection with her
construction. We sincerely hope that
consrress will fearlessly fathom the
crime and iniquity connected with the
buildine of the Texas and will not
hesitate to place the blame where it
belongs. We certainly protest against
any effort to shield the chiefs by
censuring understrappers. New Mex
ican. COMMISSIONERS' COURT.
The awarding of the printing con
tract to the St. Louis firm over the bids
of local bouses, has raised a protest
from the El Pa90 papers. The Herald
too, thinks it a poor policy to send our
good money away from town, if local
competition gives any where near the
same figures. Foreign figures are
desirable when local trusts unite to
raise prices above a fair margin of
profit, and become necessary to restore
the equilibrium.
The criticism is perhaps just, that
the county offlcit-ls are asking for too
high a grade of stationery. Local
houses can satisfy the most exacting
tastes. A bankrupt county has no need
of lithographs, but should be content!
with what is absolutely necessary and
at the least expense.
It was our pleasure to be present at
a session of the commissioners' court
recently, when they were discussing
plans for the future. The IIkrald
believes the present court has taken
hold of the financial problem in a strong
way, and that they intend honestly to
meet the difficulties as they arise.
Tbey will try to bring the expenditures
within the revenues, and restore the
county credit to par. In all this they
shall have the support of the Herald.
which, with them, will labor for the
restoration of official integrity.
MODERN NAVIES.
Bgtb. tbe United States aod Spaio.
find themselves, while they are talk
ing of war, going through a costly ex
perience with their respective navies
Ships are hardly lauuel fd when some
new improvement or clever invention
makes thtm, in tho expressive lan
guage of the street, "back numbers."
it.isn.sprtcil hf naval exoerts in tbe
the United States that the "new navy'
wears itself out every ten years, and
that ten per cent, of tho cost of the
new irai'.il:ips should be added to the
estimates to cover this depreciation.
The cruiser '-Chicpgo" is pointed to as
a ease in po'nt. She is now in the New
York j ards for reconstruction. The
vessel was completed in acd be
came substantially out of date in ISilO.
So rauid is the march of improvement
in naval construction that by 1SS9 ves
sels of the same horse power as the
Chicago were able to move a knot an
hour faster. The machinery of the
vessel will be almost entirely replaced
and by these changes it is hoped to in
crease her speed at least two knots an
hour. The battery is also being rear
ranged and modern mounts supplied.
The cost of all these changes will ap
proximate roughly about one-third of
the original value of the vessel.
A modern navy is one of the costliest
luxuries a nation may indulge in. New
6hips speedily grow obsolete, and, if
reports at Madrid are correct, the
Spanish ships are not giving good re
sults in speed.
A war between Spain and the United
States ou the seas would be enormously
expensive, but naval experts in
Europe would derive important les
sons from the encouutero modern
battleships handled by men of the
white race, belonging to distinctively
seafaring peoples. Mex Herald.
AN ffoNIO MACEO.
The K ason for hi Implacable Hatred
lor the Spanish.
The study of Maeeo is as thrilling as
that of any hero in the world-struggle
for liberty. His uncompromising pa
triotism,' his implacable hatred of the
enemy, his self-sacriliee, magnetism,
courage, his rugged nature and his
stern, solemn purpose all these thintrs
drew men to him and held them with a
force from which there was no escape.
This is trie t-e.-ood Cuban revolution in
which Maeeo has been a conspicuous
figure. In the ten years' war he rose
from ti e ranks to the grade of a major
general. Then, as now, he was a fear
less fighter. Then, as now, he was
the despair of the Spaniards. But in
this revo'ution Maeeo went into the
experience of his first, campaign, re
enforced by sixteen years of study and
preparation in the arts of war.
At the time that Maeeo 's plantation
was destroyed. General Maximo Go
mez was lying with his forces in the
mountains of Santiago One day he
was confronted by a tall, gaunt man.
followed by half a dozen awkward
hoys. The gaunt man volunteered his
services a d those of his sons. "Can
you light?'' asked the leader, with a
smile. "Perhaps," was the reply. Some
time after a company of Spanish cav
valry passed near the camp of Gomez
They were cut to pieces by the guer
rillas of (ionifZ At the head of the
rebels rode the. Maeeo a wk ward squad
The father fell in his fight, and within
two months th. ee of th sons had been
slain in battle. Tbe remaining
members of the Maeeo family seemed
to bear charmed lives. Xhey fought
recklessly. Death first overtook
Miguel: then Juiio fell under Spanish
tire, aud tVlioe and l'omas were dis
abled. Tnis left Antonio alone. His
Brother Jo?e was too young to jom
his brotner in the field. For the tirst
tsar of bis service under Gomez An
tonio fought like a iiou. In that space
of time he was promoted from a com
mon soldier to a sergeant, tuen became
successively lieutenant, captain, and
major. Soon after h;s last promotion
he led a band of against the upiaud
town of Ti Arriba, and capturing the
forts drove the Spaniards to Santiago
He was then given the straps of co.o
nel. His career from this forward was
one of glory. Gomez advanced him in
power, and the Spaniards began to
dread his very name. His engage
ments were all bright, bis victories
fan caching, bis losses slight. He tor
tured the great Campos at Ramos,
slaughtered the combined forces of
Campos and Vaiera at Monte Ocuro,
utterly routed a force of 2,500 Span
iards in the battle of Zirzal, and at
Santa Maria de Helguin he changed
aud di.-mayed the Spanish line before
the enemy could lire a shot. In the
last mamed action Calixto Garcia was
in command, and Maeeo led th
charge.
Maeeo is the last of nine brothers
who bled and died for Cuba. And in
bim is concentrated the spirit of the
eight brothers and their father. An
tonio was born in 181") on the planta
tion of his father, Marcus Maeeo, near
the little palm-thatched village of
liarajugua. lie worktd for the lamily,
driving the mules along the lonely
mountain roads. He 8 tvv the slaves
toiling and ktenly felt the shame of
the Cubans' degr dation. One day in
8S Antonio returned from a trip to
Holiruin, bringing to his fatner the
news that the Cubans had uprisen and
the island was in revolt. By this time
the family had increased to eleven
nine sons and two daughters. loung
Antonio desired to fight for his country,
but Maeeo the father prevailed upon
him and his brothers to maintain a
strict neutrality. Yet the father deep
ly sympathized with tbe cause of tbe
insurgents, and ofien lent them secret
aid when he could. Perhaps the
Spaniards in some way learned this
fact, and it was that knowledge that
gave to Cuba her greatest leader. One
oay a b ind of Spanish truerrillas under
the iead of Cap-ain Carupillo passed by
the Cuban's plantation. Ma
eeo acd his elder sons were
away upon a trip to Baracoa. At
nightfall, when they returned, they
found their home a mass of blackened
ruins. The barns wt r j burned, the
crops destroyed, the mules, horses and
cattle stolen. 'I he mother with a brok
en arm was tied to a tre '. moun ng
from pain. Six hoys lay on t he ground,
bleeding and :-en:-eless. Tbe two girl-
were hiding, half dead, in the bushes
What should now withhold the Maceos
fr m the eoi;ll el? The next day the
women of 'be Maco household were
placed in the fcands of friends and the
Nther assembled his sons together
He required them all to register an
oath never to lay down th-ir arms
until th Spaniards should be driven
from the land and Cuba bn free. How
well the sont have kept, that oath has
been seen in the record of blood and
llame from one end of tbe island to the
other.
About this time Antonio Maeeo firs'
met his present enemy. Cant. G'-ueral
Valuriano Weyler. Weyler bad just
been made a brigadier general, and
was sent against the brave Antonio at
Gurimaro. Tbe latter led the briga
dier and his men into a ravice trap
and slaughtered the Spaniards like
sheep. Weyler ran away, leaving ;00
of his men slain. Soon thereafter
Maeeo attacked with great success ti e
San Quentin battalion, and won a
m,ii,ir oenemlshin. H,s promotion ad
ded fire to his ambition, aDd l.e fought
many bloody lights at Baragua, at San
Felipe, Sabana, Hato del Medio, Cayo
I Key 'and Mirando. At Cayo Rey Maeeo
was sho'. through the lungs. Dili es
caped and recovered. After his
recovery Maeeo adopted new methods
of hurting the Spaniards. His brother
Jose had meanwhile srrown up to man
hood, and joined Antonio. Between
them they conducted a campaign that
bled Spain to tbe heart. They marched
through the country, and left ruin and
desolation behind them. It has been
this method that has caused Spain her
deepest sorrow in tho present revolu
tion. In the midst of his wrecking expedi
tion Maeeo was pained to learn that
the Cuban leaders had s'gned a treaty
of peace with Spain. He refused to
accept the situation and continued his
rounds of destruction. But the back
bone of the rebellion was broken and
Maeeo consented to put away his sword
on condition that Spain should furni-h
him a war ship to carry him and his
officers to Jamaica. General Campos
accepted the offer and Maeeo retired.
But it was not to rest. His proud
spirit was not broken, and in his
retirement he uurtured his scheme nf
vengepnee. He gave up his whole
time to the study of war. He bought
books of all kinds treating of war and
devoured them. After two months'
residence in Jamaica he landed in
New York incognito. He made his way
to West Point and there bdeame a
hostler. No one dreamed that the
ready and willing dark skinned labor
ing man with the burniDgeyes was the
hero of the Spanish revolution. The
cadets liked him, and would have
worshipped him had they known his
history. But he was secretly the most
attentive student at the academy, and
eagerly devoured all the books the
students gave him.
Leaving West Point he returned to
New York and sailed for Costa Ilica
with a library of books about the. war.
For ten years he studied and dreamed
and tra ned his veteran companions. In
188 he began to plot the present re
volution. Going to Santiago, disguised
as a muleteer, he was becoming active
when Spain learned of his presence,
and he was forctd to tlee. He returned
to Costa Rica and there opened cor
respondence with the leading Cuban
patriots in other parts of the world.
General Gomez, in San Domingo, joined
him, and in a short time Cuban juntas
were organized in almost all the big
cities in the United States. Eirly id
1895 tbe plot matured and the nes was
Hashed over the wires to all parts ot
the earth that the Cubans had risen.
Maeeo was still in Costa Rica. In
February, Antonio Maeeo and his broth
er, accorxpmed by sixteen veterans
sailed for Cuba. Within a few weens
Maeeo had recruited an army of 1.000
men. and was once more on the track
of tbe Spaniards. He met the forces of
Spain at Yalaras Filipinas, Cristo aud
Jarabenca and routed them.
Maeeo has been the most striking
figure in the revolution. Laughing at
Weyler's trochas, he has desolated the
'sland and has died its soil with tbe
blood of the oppressors. He crossed
the Canto river and whipped Valdez at
Chapana, Holguin and Moseones. He
noshed further west and defeated
E-change at Puerto Padi e. Leaving a
train of ruin behind him, he broke the
troeha of Juearo, routed the enemy at
Maltiempo, Coliseo, Paso Real, acd
Calimete. and at last won his way lo
Pinar del Rio. San Antonio Light.
Chinese Telegraphing.
All the principal cities of China are
now connected with each otfcur and
with Pekin, tbe capital, by tfcletrraph.
Telearaphinff is, however, a laborious
and lcntrthy process and very expensive,
The line does not pay for itself and is a
heavy drain on the state treasury
The dispatches are, of course, sent in
Chi; ese, for not one native in a thou
sand has an inkling of any language
5 but his own.
As everyone knows, the Chinese
language has no alphabet. Ihere being
a sign for every word, hence it was ut
terly impossible to invent a telegraphic
code that was practicable. The diffi
culty was obviated bv inventing a
signal for each of the. cardinal numbers,
and a code dictionary was compiled
where every number, from 1 to 1,000,
stood for some Chinese character.
The sender does not have to bother
what the messasre means, but the re
ceiver has to translate the message icto
Chinese before he forwards it to the
recipient.
Tne Chinese system has its great dis
advantages. The written language is
entirely different from the spoken one
and men of sufficient education to re
ceive and translate messages are not
lookiDg for jobs in a telegraph office,
so the government recruits its employ e
with great ditncultv. Tbe Chinese
merchants do -not have bus
ness relations all over the cojntry as
do our merchants, and the telegraph
business is rather dull.
The public is not invited to buy stock
in the line and if it was no one would
invest with a view to dividends, for tl.e
receipts co not equal the exponr-es. A
stumbling block iu the way of introduc
ing railroads more extensively is that
the trains have to be dispatched by
telegraphic orders, and this will be im
possible, as the Chinese government
will not employ foreigners and the
Chinese of the literary class, the only
class that has enough education to
take these positions, would indignantly
refuse to become trainmen.
